The best part is how Good Hitler's martini never spilled.

Oh, that reminds me of somebody's signature i saw on SlashDot: "In Soviet Union, government runs the businesses."

P.S.-- i miss your avatar, Zamphir. Nothing says "cool" around here like a Rosenberg original!

Now today's comic [goats.com] has (what appears to be) a Space Needle [wikipedia.org] in the middle of Washington, D.C.

The Good Hitler alternate-universe is obviously far more exciting than our current D.C. universe!

Washingtons are pretty much interchangeable I figure.

In primary school, I told an exchange student that she couldn't possibly come from the east coast because "Washington is on the left!"

Mind you, I also insisted the US had 52 states. It just seemed like a better number.

You are so right! The Left Coast [wikipedia.org] is fantastic [discogs.com]. And what with all the Interchangeable Washingtons (TM), i would imagine that next year's new Washington will be pretty much just like the old one... crazy and deserving of ridicule!

Also, 52 is definitely a fine number. In fact, i always intentionally try to park in space number 52 next my building because it's surely the best place for our ute to rest!

As usual, Nic's erudition is unequalled.

As an antipodean, i guess that makes you Right~Side~Up (from my point of view)!

To be honest, it's my roommate's ute, but i drive it more than he does.

That's still not much driving. We take the bus (and walk) quite a bit, so the odometer is still under 42000 miles despite the age of the pickup~truck (1994). Hooray for good public transportation [ridewta.com]! The omnibus passes by every fifteen minutes. All of us-- take omnibus [discogs.com]! [Come on, sing along, it's terrific!]

The scary thing is not that you have a ute.

It is that you know what a ute is.

Oh and now comes the cool mental images:

the tel* B&B!!!

Fuck me. I don't know if it is better or worse than the normal one.

Votes for that being the next AUS/US naval exercise?

aye!

Cowboy Prime is being played by Fred Thompson for this one performance or until someone figures out whether Slim Whitman is dead. Or not.

Fred's doing a bang-up job. Now we'll have to watch him in reruns of Good Hitler as well as Law and Order.

Maybe a crossover is planned, GH guest-starring as a suave corpse?

It's funnier to think that it's George W.

Which it is.

Also.

My thought was that it was Fred playing George. Which I still think is funnier. And it looks more like Fred than George.

Actually, it looks like Chill Wills or Slim Pickens. :)

Fred Thompson is 2 GW's,, at least. Besides, he has to come in later as the sweet, caring Neurosurgeon/Gunrunner

Fred doesn't have that distinctively pointy nose.

Personally, I think it's a surprise star turn for Robin Williams.

I'm imagining a pretzel cannon that not only shoots pretzels but is shaped like one.

GH's expressions here are so good, doubt, wariness and curiousity.

You are not the only one. What a great idea for a t-shirt!

You should send it to Jon!

It's okay, their mother has difficulty telling them apart too.

Re: Doubting Hitlers: Good one. But where would you put the umlaut? :)

I sent about 30 in to Jon and he picked one of the best ones to shout out, Bluebeard's Wigstand. That's so giggleworthy. Some of the others were more like "huh?" Like: Plud Plister

I used another band name in a strip I did with Adam Sanford a few years ago: Filthy Urban Raccoons. And their competition: The Dread Puppies. :)

I like the idea in today's strip that GH was never five. Of course not, he's a clone.
